I blink and blink again, trying to make sense of the situation.
“Can you see anything about their magic?” Grandfather asks.
Talindra takes a step closer to me. She grabs ahold of my hand and her milky blue eyes get a dazed look to them. “The male is a good mix of elf and dragon shifter. His elf magic will be strong. The girl is mostly elf, though I do believe she has a touch of fae magic as well. Her elf magic is equal to her brother.”
I swallow hard at her words.
What the heck is going on?
She’s an oracle, Wisteria, Stellan finally says.
AnORACLE!?
That means I reallyampregnant.
I sit down in my chair, suddenly feeling faint.
Talindra grins like she knows exactly what Stellan said to me. Who knows, maybe she does know.
Oracles are… rare. They’re only supposed to be born every thousand years. I never imagined one would be alive in my lifetime. Since their magic is so rare, not a lot is known about them, seeing as every oracle that’s ever existed has been unique in their abilities.
How has she managed to stay hidden? The supernatural community would revere her if they knew. Though, maybe that’s why she is keeping her identity secret. I can’t blame her for not wanting others to know.
She gently pats my hand and turns to face my grandfather. “The things I see are not always exact, but I am certain about the twins. And, if this girl is allowed to stay married to Prince Stellan, she will give birth tomanyfemale hybrids with strong elf magic. How many, I can not tell you. But this girl and her dragon shifter husband are going to save the elves from a slow extinction unless you separate them.”
Many? I’m going to havemanychildren?
I think I’m going to be sick.
I wanted one kid at a time.One. And here I am, pregnant with two. And now she’s telling me about all the many children I’m going to be having. It’s too much.
I turn to look at Stellan.This is all your fault.
He laughs.Me? How is this my fault?
Because. You look at me with those sexy bedroom eyes and I can’t help myself. And, apparently, every time you touch me, I’m destined to get pregnant.
Out of the two of us, YOU are the temptress. Stellan shakes his head at me, but I can see the grin on his face.
He’ssowrong, but I’m not going to argue with him about it right now. I’m still trying to process the whole ‘pregnant’ thing.
Twins?
Really?
“That… changes things,” Lord Vulmer says, but I ignore him.
I just need to breathe. Focus on slowly sucking air into my lungs. But it’s harder than it sounds.
The air here feels thinner than it did before.
“Wemustsign an alliance with the dragon shifters,” another council member declares, but I just lean back in my chair, my head spinning.
Stellan steps forward. I hear the council members gasp as he approaches, but he ignores them. He pulls me up from the chair, sits down, and then pulls me into his lap.
His touch is exactly what I need. All the anxiety melts away.
It’s going to be okay. Stellan presses his forehead against mine and he gently strokes his fingers down my arms, making me shiver.You’re not alone in this.
